Dog trainer leads session at Village Critter Outfitter

Village Critter Outfitter is hosting an event this month at its store geared to dog owners with puppies and dogs of all ages. On Tuesday, Jan. 22, from 6-7, Jody Rosengarten, professional dog trainer, behavior therapist and author, will discuss training in an interactive session called “Training a Good Enough Dog.”

With a lifelong focus on understanding the perspectives of our four-legged friends, Rosengarten presents new, realistic approaches to dog training which favor kinder, gentler practices that recognize a dogs’ natural joie de vivre and individuality, rather than the rigidity of traditional obedience training. Her training philosophy: understanding dogs leads to better results.

“We are delighted to have Jody share her insights on dog training,” said Shirleen Dubuque, owner of Village Critter Outfitter. “She brings a wealth of experience and a compassionate approach to training that all dog owners will enjoy. It’s free and open to everyone … although, for this event, humans only.”

Here is an opportunity to learn a new approach, ask questions and hear first hand from one of the leading experts in dog training. In addition, there will be a raffle for signed copies of Rosengarten’s book, “Rover, Don’t Roll Over.”
